That AMD "is vulnerable" should NOT be believed for a single solitary nanosecond without empirical evidence of exploitation on AMD platforms. I could be wrong, but this WREAKS of Intel damage-control. That is to say, the "AMD is exploitable" line _may_ be an attempt to exploit human psychology in order to mitigate consumer-flight from Intel CPU's toward AMD's offering....
Upon reading about the Intel bug and how AMD was not vulnerable (at first), the involuntary thought that immediately entered my own mind was "my next CPU is gonna be AMD. period." So what I'm saying is that in order to curb this rational impulse in consumers (given the severity of the bug), there MAY be a "push" to vilify AMD's chips to instill the feeling of "oh well, if they both have serious bugs, I may as well stay with what I'm using on my next purchase".
